The concept "Less is more" is reflected in the idea that children tend to play more purposefully and with greater imagination when they have fewer toys. To support this, we designed perfect PLAYSHELVES with the concept of toy rotation in mind. The bottom widest level is easily accessible for the youngest children who can stand and hold onto the shelf. Meanwhile, the eldest children can reach all levels, while standing and the bottom one while kneeling down or sitting. The different depths of the shelves encourage children to explore and engage in various activities depending on which toys are currently on display. 

  • MESSA PLAYSHELF FORTE - is able to hold enough toys for a single toy rotation, while also promoting independent play. It offers an ideal platform to create customized invitations to play, perfectly suited to the child's current age and developmental needs. With four different levels, two of which can be removed, making it suitable for children of all ages. In addition, it is not only perfect for creating play spaces but can also function as a dolls house offering children a dedicated space for imaginative play or a practical bookshelf, providing a creative and organized display for books that promotes a passion for reading and encourages exploration.
  • MESSA PLAYSHELF PIANO - a smaller version of the PLAYSHELF, offers two levels of play. This compact version without a backing, fosters imaginative play and opens up a world of limitless possibilities. Children can use it to create their own stores, market stalls, coffee shops, or kitchen counters, unleashing their creativity and immersing themselves in various role-playing scenarios. The absence of a backing enhances the freedom of play and allows children to fully engage their imaginations in constructing different play environments.  Unlock the stage for captivating puppet shows, the perfect setting for your child's creative performances.

The design of the PLAYSHELF allows children to experiment with different toys and use their imagination, leading to increased creativity and problem-solving skills. As Kim John Payne said, "As you decrease the quantity of your child's toys and clutter, you increase their attention and their capacity for deep play."

The concept behind a MOUNTY MESSA PLAYSHELF is to promote intentional play by limiting the number of toys available at any given time and encouraging children to experiment and engage their imaginations with what is available at the time.

Derived from the diverse world of French country decor, the MOUNTY MESSA shapes celebrate the distinct regions and social categories of French country living. This versatile and captivating play furniture ignites children's imaginations, offering a delightful journey through various styles.

Incorporating the essence of flexibility and durability, all components of our play furniture, with the exception of the side panels, are designed to be mounted upside down and/or front to back. This ingenious feature ensures that in the rare event of damage during hours of play, you can easily refresh the look of the furniture over time.

Play at its best arises from a balance between inner creative impulses and external circumstances. MOUNTY wooden play furniture for kids was inspired by Waldorf education and the insights, teachings and principles outlined by the Austrian researcher, artist, philosopher, architect and scientist Rudolf Steiner. Based on that we created a range of play furniture that facilitates free and independent thinking, thus encouraging self-discovery.

“The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility; these are the very nerve of education.” ~ Rudolf Steiner

Love the Piano

The MOUNTY Messa Piano Playshelf is awesome. The lights are like a party. But what makes it really special is that you can change how it looks and put it together differently. My kids have so many adventures with it. It's strong and will last a long time.
